Salvador Dalí

The Elephants

Salvador Dalí born in 1904. He was the maximum exponent of the surrealism. He was a fantastic painter that revolutionized the word with his charisma and talent. His most famous works are: Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus), Galatea of the Spheres, The Persistence of Memory, and The Temptation of St. Anthony. Also, he produced different work of art types and in different disciplines such as photography, sculpture, drawing, and cinematography where he was fellow worker of Alfred Hitchcock, Walt Disney and Luis Buñuel; with Buñuel, Dalí produced the famous film “Un chien andalou” (1929).

I knew to Salvador Dalí when I was 9 years old while I studied in third grade, when I had to make a report for my art class about four famous painters. In this time, I hadn’t a lot of knowledge about art and thing of this type, for this reason my mother helped me with the report, she lent me the dictionary The Little Larousse, and she indicated me where look up information. There I found to four painters that I drew attention and I made my report: Pablo Picasso, Diego Velásquez, Francisco de Goya, and of course Dalí. The paintings of the first painter don't like to me, for me it was only scrawls, the two next I did not like, because the environment is very dark, but with Dalí happened something special. Honey is Sweeter than Blood (1927) was the first Dalí painting that I saw in the dictionary, It seen to me some disturbing, this scared me a few, no wonder, because there a “chopped woman” in the image, but as the phrase say “scares me but I like it” hahaha xdd.

The Horseman of Death

Dalí is a real idol for me, as I said in a previous post, thanks to him, I painted some surrealistic paintings. I love the symbolism in his works, the combination of colours and the perspective horizontal in the landscapes, and everything the enigmatic figure that his works present. And Finally, I Love Salvador Dalí ♥.
